Serial Ports
The serial ports are multifunction Flex-WAN ports that provide connection
to industry-standard V.35, RS-232, RS-449, RS-530, or X.21 Data
Communications Equipment (DCE) or Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
serial devices. You can buy Flex-WAN cables separately from 3Com. See
Appendix D for more information about Flex-WAN cables.

If you are using two SuperStack II NETBuilder SI bridge/routers connected
directly to each other by the serial ports (back-to-back), the
bridge/routers do not meet radiated emissions specifications.

For boundary routers, only one serial or WAN port can be active. The
remaining ports are used for back-up only.

Telco Services
To create a WAN, you must buy lines and services from a
telecommunications company (Telco). Services include dial-up lines,
leased lines, and packet-switched services.
telecommunications company (Telco). Services include dial-up lines,
leased lines, and packet-switched services.
Dial-up lines, like ISDN, allow you to dial your destination when necessary
and hang up when you no longer need the connection. A leased line is
always available between two locations. Dial-up and leased lines both use
the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).

Packet-switched services, like Frame Relay, use a combination of leased or
dial-up lines with Telco-owned switching, which frees you from the cost
of owning the line the entire length.
